The Steering Committee for urging budget collection at all levels needs to be completed soon, put into operation, have a plan, action program to implement and assign specific tasks to each department, office and individual in charge. Budget levels and sectors need to review and implement the contents related to handling revenue shortfalls (if any), determining the amount of revenue increase, budget transfer and expenditure savings from 2024 to 2025 and using it in accordance with regulations.

Budget levels and sectors must review and implement the settlement contents in accordance with the prescribed time. At the same time, the Department of Finance has issued official dispatches guiding the contents of handling assets, finance, accounting work, and budget settlement in the process of restructuring the apparatus.

In that spirit, it is requested that units pay attention to the implementation, and during the implementation process, if there are any difficulties or problems, promptly report them to the Department of Finance for discussion and guidance; etc./.
